Default 1948 Leaf

Posted By: Anthony

I've been collecting this set for years, and continually upgrading. Ghost prints are relatively common- it would seem that the ink was often not dry on the previous sheet before a new one was stacked on top of it.
Based on they way this set is often out of register and the generally horrible printing I have a theory it was printed on a 2 color press, and then run thru again for the second 2 colors. Color variations are pretty common too, so quality control was often must have been ignored. Does anyone (MW?) have any more info on this issue and how it was produced? The only full sheet I've seen was in the catalog of the Copeland Collection, and it was the common half with Hermanski and Aberson long sleeve. I'm sure we won't see that one again for quite a while.
